A thought by Les Parrott, (2012-08-02) from his book, You're Stronger Than You Think: The Power to Do What You Feel You Can't (p. 132). Tyndale House Publishers. Kindle
Edition.
Yes, when I grew up as a
traveling evangelist’ son I think we had some difficult times but what I remember
was my dad, sister and me singing from one end of the United States to the
other and even up in Canada. I remember
the 49 states that I have been too. I
remember so many exciting times. Yes, I
have said that my mom was amazing. She
could go into a kitchen where there wasn’t any food and make a meal. She was amazing. That wasn’t a hardship.
It doesn’t have to be but for
many it is. The other day, I made a
mistake but I don’t remember what it was.
I do remember sitting in a recliner and reading 5 books to Addison, then
listening to Ashlyn and Marissa tell of the two auditions for commercials that
Ashlyn went to and also Brett’s great interview for a new job and Margaret’s
handling some difficult situations at work.
What I see and how I see it is my choice. The mistake wasn’t the focus of my day. For some that is all they see.

Yes there have been some
difficult days. Like the day that I got
the call that my father had been killed and when Margaret had her cancer
surgery. Difficult days but days that
brought us through stronger and more determined. They were days of new determination to live
for God and be excited about the opportunity to grow and learn how He can be trusted.
So what have you chosen as
your view of your life?
